An expected return
Alessia Merz, a former well-known face on “Non è la Rai,” made her return to television during the episode of “Verissimo” aired on Saturday, November 9.

A journey that began when I was young
Merz nostalgically recalled her debut in the mid-1990s. “Beautiful years, I always remember them with pleasure,” she said, emphasizing how the program “Non è la Rai” represented a turning point in her life. “Pino Insegno advised me to audition and from there my life changed,” she said, recalling the moment she left Trento to move to Rome, without knowing that it would be her new home. Her determination and talent led her to become one of the most beloved faces on Italian television.

Despite her success, Alessia’s life has not been without its challenges. She shared a disturbing episode involving a stalker who stalked her when she was just 20 years old. “He sent me flowers and disturbing messages,” she said, revealing how the situation became unbearable until she decided to report the man. Fortunately, the situation was resolved without serious consequences, but the experience has profoundly affected her life. Alessia also spoke about the importance of having a trusted agent in the entertainment world, a crucial aspect to navigate the pitfalls of such a competitive industry.
Choosing a Family Life
Today, Alessia Merz has chosen to dedicate herself to her family, moving away from the world of television. “Fabio and I have dispelled the myth that footballers and showgirls don’t last,” she said, highlighting the solidity of her relationship. The showgirl has found the personal fulfillment she was looking for in love and motherhood, stating that she has no regrets about her career. “I found the right man and I built my family,” she concluded, revealing the serenity and satisfaction that characterize her life today.
